ATA Lodge has been having a fantastic season this year. What a comeback after the chaos of Covid last season! We have been so busy with the best guests ever and a lot of great fish being caught!

Little did we know what was about to transpire! This year saw over 64 million Sockeye Salmon return the watersheds of Bristol Bay. This year's run shattered all existing records,...

We've been missing the beauty of the river and area and are so happy to look over the meadow...
